PREFACE. — 


Aut nations have been, and continue to be, abas-— 
dantly supplied with new methods of acquiring foreign 
languages ; but, has any one -of these theories suc- 
ceeded to any extent in producing that speaking 
knowledge which is the first essential to mutual 


communication ? 


Tongue and language were synonymous, but the 
interpretation thereof has been wofully perverted ; © 
since, among the ‘thousands in this great city who 
have studied a foreign language, how many may 
there be capable of common conversation in the 
tongue which they considered as a necessary ap~ 
pendage to a polite or commercial education ? Alas! 
how few ! 


The author of this little work aims at nothing 
new ; has no magical method of imparting a whole 
language for 25 cents; has no new theory to ad- 
vance ;—but wishes herein simply to demonstrate, 


that if @ little child can learn to speak a languuge 


without difficulty, much more easily may the same 


instinct matured by reason and experience, obtaix 
the same knowledge, in the same old-fashioned way, 
Fry it; you cannot fail of success.

ADVICE TO THE STUDENT, 
METHOD OF STUDYING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE, 


To acquire a speaking knowledge of a foreign lan- 
guage is not a difficult task, if undertaken in a good 
- humor, and with a fixed determination to make some 

httle progress every day. There are so many little 
bits of time, which, if devoted to study, would tend 
rather to relieve than annoy. The time that is disa- 
greeably wasted in waiting for others, for boats, stages, . 
breakfast, dinner, tea, supper, ete, might be both 
profitably and pleasureably wiled away, by taking a 
small and interesting book from the coat pocket. Be- 
side this, there is the advantage of oftentimes meeting 
with those to whom you may refer in case of diffculty. 
The writer has learned more of foreign languages in 
this way, than he could have acquired in closeted hours 
of deep and wearisome toil and study. ‘‘ Many micke 
les make a muckle,” says the Scotchman ; so say I: 
and so you will find, if you will follow the simple course - 
laid down for you. 

To speak a language, you must begin proisety al as & 
child begins to speak its mother tongue. A child has 
uever been known to speak his first sentences correct- 


- bed 
a : as 


a ADVICE TO THE STUDENT 


ly but acquires his knowledge of language in the 
same way ashe learns to run. He begins by jumping 


and springing in his mother’s arms, then crawls, then 


toddles, cautious but resolute, from chair to chair, till 
after a few self-taught lessons in experimental philoso- 
phy, he can scamper, unguided and alone. So it is 
with his pronouncing organs ; he begins with mum, 
mum, und goes on exercising his tongue, etc., soon 
adopting a method of his own of regulating his accents 


, to the sounds of others. But I never knew a child 


stop speaking, because he was afraid of making a mis- 


‘take; if such were the case, this would indeed be a 
silent world, Don’t be afraid; you will soon be 


amused at the blunders you have made, and your oon- 
stant progress will impart to you fresh courage. You 
will acquire a talkative knowledge of a language, by 


the same means as the child. 


The majority of those who. study a foreign language 
seldom dream of making any use of it ; they dread the 
bare idea of speaking a word, but appear to be per- 


_ fectly satisfied with having taken so many quarter’s 


jessons, translated from such and such books, and, they 


_ rest assured that the Spaniard and the Frenchman 


talk much faster than an American, and that they 
shall never talk French or Spanish at all. At the 
same time, they are determined, that when they can 
speak tolerably well, they will begin ; like Paddy who — 
bad made up his mind not to bathe, ’till he knew how 


ADVICE TO THE STUDENT 7 


to swim They bar themselves from the only efficient 


mode of improvement, the habitnal practice of speech: 
rigat or wrong. Your first effort will no doubt ex 
tract an occasional smile; but foreigners, | must say, 
are far less inclined to ridicule, and far more ready 
to help out a tottering misconstructed sentence, than 


_ we are; and are well pleased to assist the beginner, 
by politely giving him any assistance required. By 


availing yourselvesof opportunities and means, trifling 
in themselves, you may acquire a thorough knowledge 
of a language, without any expense, with scarcely any 
loss of time; at the same time forming useful and 
agreeable connections which you may find at all 
times ready and willing to serve you, merely because 
you can speak their language. I could give proofs 
numerous of this, but it would cost too much to print 
them. You will find more real friendship, and derive 
more advantage from a foreigner whose language you 
speak, than you can fairly expect from any other ac- 
quaintance. 

Never be afraid to speak, because you fear to ex- 
press your ideas rather awkwardly. Every time you 
give utterance to strange sounds, adds to your 
knowledge of pronunciation, and lessens your bash- | 
fulness, by giving you increased confidence in your- 
self. Always keep some study book in your pocket ; 
you will find abundant opportunities for a few min- 
utes study which (without any sacrifice of time) 
will not fail to amuse and instruct you.

- 
d 


Decide firmly on devoting so many minutes per 
day to study, be they ever so few; always pronounce 
what yon read; thus, by accustoming yourself te 
the sounds, you will be better enabled to understand 
others. | ' 

Read every sentence over and over, until you can 
pronounce as fast as the same amount of English. 

The daily learning of a little is peculiarly impor- 
tant in the study of a foreign language. 

A small fire needs constant feeding. 

Ten minutes per day, is one hour a week, and ten 
minutes study will cause an hour’s reflection. One 


_ hour’s study per week, a little every day, for one 


year, is often more than equal to six months lessons 


‘froma master. We always act with more decision, 


when we depend on ourselves rather than on the 
assistance of others. I do not mean to recommend 
my readers to study only one hour a week. Let them 
try the ten minutes per day, they will generally ex- 


tend it, especially as they become more interested m 


the study. Any person of common abilities by 
studying one hour a day, in three months may make 
himself perfectly well understood, and as soon as he 
speaks a little, he receives an important and gratuitous 
lesson from all with whom he converses. 
This is no fable; try it, you will succeed. You 
will find friends enough to solve all your difficulties. 
_ By attending to a few general rules and analyzing, 


AVVAUB ‘TO THE STUDENT. y 


a few phrases, you will soon be able to compose for 
yourself, by noticing the forms of construction with 
which you have made yourself acquainted. 


Suppose six persons agree to study one hour a day, 
to converse together whenever an opportunity offers ; 
to meet together once a week, (or at any other stated 
periods) for the purpose of mutual instruction ; to read, 
translate, converse, and solve difficulties among them- 
selves. They would reap great advantage from this ; 
for although there might be no great difference in 
their individual progress ; still, as every one is study- 
ing on his “own hook,” each would have’ something 
new tocommunicate. Every difficulty should be noted 
down, to be unravelled the first favorable opportunity, 
by any person better informed than themselves. Learn 
a little here, a little there, read a little, write a little 
study a little, compose a little, talk a little. Don’t 
make a task of it. 

Keep a journal in Spanish of your daily transac- 
tions, the weather, remarkable events, ete. You need 
not be shy about this, as you will be the sole inspector 
of it, and day after day as you improve, you will be 
each day convinced of your progress, and daily cor: 
rect your past errors. Five minutes per diem will suf- 
fice, and sometimes less. It is now 18 years that I 
have kept my journal in Spanish. For ten years I 
did not speak a half an hour in that language, but my 
_ Spanish recollections had been so continually aroused 


’ ? 7: 
Oy Psa ADVICE TO 1HE STUDEN1 


- by my daily compositions ( aheree as they were), that 
nothing was lost, and by dint of a few extra twists 
of the tongue | almost immediately recovered myself, 
and felt, in renewing my Spanish conversation, as 
though I had never been out of practice at all. 
Mark well the construction of the phrases you 
read, and attempt the composition of others, in the 
same form, but of other materials. 
I deem it unnecessary to enlarge much in Notes 
on difficulties in the conversations, as the student, 
by an attentive perusal, may easily ‘analyze the sen- 
tences himself, and compose accordingly. 
_ As soon as you have pronounced all the Hibs 
thoroughly, look through on the Spanish side and 
see how much you can understand, always pronoun- 
» eing aloud; and then look through on the English, 
translatiny it into Spanish: thus repeating the dose 
leisurely ‘and cooly till you get thoroughly well 
versed in the facility of pronunciation, and well armed 
with a variety of conversational knowledge ; then 
pursue the study just how, when, and where you 

. please. If you don’t succeed, call on the author 
and inform him of the fact, that he may note it down 
ic his journal, 


PRONUNCIATION 


OF THE 


SPANISH ALPHABET. 





- A, ah, always pronounced as in the words “ thank, 
sank, flank, crank, tank Ex. Casa Cama.” 

B, bay, same sound as in English. 

C, thay, before the vowels a o u, sounded like K in 
English ; at the end of the word or before a ccnsonant 
_ like K. 

C before i and e, like th in the English werds thin 
thatch. ch. the same sound as in English. 


D, day, as in English, but it must be pronounced 
very distinctly in the words terminating in ado, 
ido, &e. Ex. duda, verdad. ; 

EK, ai, always pronounced as e in the words bed, fed 

F, effe, the same sound as in English. 

G, hay, pronounced the same as in English before 
the vowels a o u; before e and i like the English as- 
pirated A pronounced from the throat. Ex. gefe, 27- 


+» fano. 


ve said to be almost, if not wholly, silent. 


HW atchay, is never aspirated as in English, and may 


| Te, always sounded like i in the English words “ fit, 


“42. PRONUNCIATION OF THE SPANISH ALPHABET. 


- git, pit,”” but more resembling the sound between the 


- 


i in'the last three, and the ea in the following: feat, 
seat, peat, not as long as feat, nor as short as fit. 

J, hota, always has the same sound before all the — 
voweis, as g has before e andi. Ex. jarro, jesus, 
qornal, jugar. (See G.) 

K. No K in Spanish except in the spelling of for- 
eign names. 

L, ellay, the same sound as in English. 

LL, ellie. Two ll’s together always pronounced as 
in English in the word William. | 

M, emay, as in English. | 

N, enay, as in Enghsh; but at the end of a word 
has about half of the ringing sound in the English ng. 

N, en-ye, always sounded like nni in biennial, tri- 
ennial, 

QO, 0, the same sound as the o in the words “ stone, 
bone,” in English, but of about half the length. — 

P, pay, as in English. 

Q, koo, the same sound as K, always accompanied, 
or rather followed by u. 

R, airy. Be cautious in pronouncing this letter, 
you must give the Irish roll with the tongue, though 
very lightly, ‘when it is single ; except when beginning 
a word, or after a consonant ; then strongly. 

RR, airry, The r’s when double are sounded very 
strong and rolling, like the r when used by an [rist- 
man, Arrah Pat, &e. 


al 


PRONUNCIATION OF THE SPANISH ALPHABET, 193 


S, es, always as in English in the words sit, sell, 
snow. 

T, tay, as m English. 

U, 00, precisely as the u in the words, full, pull. 

V, vay, asin English. Ex. valor, veo. 

W is found in no Spanish word; in foreign nameti 
is pronounced as in English. 

X, a kiss, seldom found, and pronounced like “ j” 
in Spanish, sometimes like x in English. This letter 
is almost out of use ; cs is substituted for it. 


Y, egreaga, pronounced always like y in yeast. 

Z, pronounced like th in thick. 

The pronunciation of the Spanish language is as 
easy as it is simple; in learning the alphabet you have 
learned nearly all. 

Pronounce the following combinations thoroughly, 
giving them the alphabetical sound ; repeat them over 


| ~ and over till you find them easy.

Ga, ge, gi, go, gu. fa, fie, fil, fio, fiu. 
Ha, he, hi, ho, hu. Pa, pe, pi, po, pu. 
RULE. 


Words of two syllables ending in a vowel, the em: 
phasis is on the first, but not as in English where the 
second syllable is often scarcely audible. Every 
sound must be pronounced fearlessly and audibly. 
All words ending in a consonant, have the emphasis 
on the second, except es added. for the plural. — 
Should a deviation from this rule occur, the accent 
will point it out to the pupil. 

Pronounce the fellowing words, recollecting that 
they are all simple alphabetical sounds : 

Capa, casa, cojo, pozo, jarro, raton, poco, loco, rio, 
frio, monte, caja, jorge, pero, perro, buscar, cojer, 
_ prlio, silla, rizo, seral, llano, llevar, llave, cuando, 
cuello, queja, quita, quebrar, casco, comer, beber. 


RULE. 


In words of three sylables lay the emphasis on the 
second, unless the accent should indicate an excep- 
tion, cachuca, comida, caballo, cajita, muchacho, séb- 
ado, ochenta, péjuro, pizarra, madera, perrito, cds- 
cara, perilla, bigotes, hermana, bastante, puerta, 
castillo, niimero, olvid2.* 


* The emphasis is always on the last sylable of the first person a 
‘be perfect and future tenses. 


; 
- 
\ 


PRONUNCIATION OF THE SPANISH ALPHABET, 15 


RULE, 
Words of four syllables have the emphasis on the 
third. The exceptions will be accented as they oceur. 
Ex. divertido, solamente, fatigado, prefiero, dcap 
ulco, muchachita, campanilla, sympatia, majadere 
agradable, muchisimo, fortiiito meteoro. 


RULE. 

Words of five sylables have the emphasis on the 
fourth. The exceptions will be accented as they oc- 
cur. . 

Inteligencia, inhospitable, intempestivo, jocoserio, 
mezcladamente octavario, orfebreria equildtero in- 
mitable. obediencia inordinado, inrabitable. 


RULE. 
Words of six sylables have the emphasis on the 


- fifth. The exceptions will be accented as they occur 


Discol/adamente, descontentadizo, efectivamente, 


a espilorcheria, hieroglifico. 


In fine, the emphasis is generally found on the last 
sylable but one, except words ending in consonants, 
when it is on the last; except S. when added for the 
plural—which does not change the emphasis ; all 
other exceptions will be accented.

REMARKS ; 


- As J may have to make remarks on some of tlie 
parts of speech, I will er.deavor to give you rules 
for recognizing to what part of speech a word may 
belong. 

The articles are the, a and an ; the is expressed in 
fourways in Spanish and must invariably be of the 
same gender as the noun to which it relates, as also 
a and an expressed in Spanish by un uno, una. 

The Noun is known by itsrepresenting either per- 


- son, place or thing, virtue or vice, &c.: man, New 


York, inkstand, patience, sin, &c. 
The Pronoun is the representative of the noun, 
and relates to it, therefore must agree with it. 
The Verb expresses action, being or suffering. 
Adverb qualifies the Verb, answering to how,when 
pnd where. Ex. here, yesterday, properly, &c. 
The Adjective tells what the noun is, and must 
always be of the same gender and number as the 
‘noun to which it relates . un muchacno, una muyer, 
buen hombre, buena mujer hombres feos las mujeres 
feas.* heat 
* Passive past Participles take the gender and number of the nouns 


to which they relate. accurding to the rule of adjectives. No other 
Een is changeable. Ex.—La carne esia cocida: The meat is 





REMARKS 17 


Adjectives ending in 0 in the masculine singular 
change o into a for the feminine singular, 0 into os 
for the masculine plural, o into as for the feminine 
plural. Adjectives ending in e do not change for 
the feminine singular, but take an s for the plural of 
both genders. Adjectives ending in / change only 
for the plural, adding es for both genders.

I hope I shall go to Eng-

Then you will do well to 
learn English a little be- 
fore you go, 

Apply yourself a little to 
grammar, 

But above all commit to 
memory as great a 
number of phrases as 
you can. 

In order to know a lan-

mar is absolutely neces-

In order to speak a lan-

Your sister draws very

Landscape is what I most

As for me, I prefer figures ;

on, which pleased me 
very much, 

Have you ever attempted 

‘ flowers ¢ 

[ will show you some of 
my attempts in that 
style. 


T do not know sufficiently 


how to colour them. 


Flowers, simply drawn in

siderable effect. 

This is beautiful.

glect. so extraordinary 
a talent. 

You will excel.

am lame (meaning not a fixed lameness) ; Estoy © 
enfadado, I am angry; Hsta enamorado, He is in 
Jove. When you wish to express an inherent qua- 
_ lity of mind or body, ora natural state of things, use 
Ser. Ex.:—Esa Sefiorita es muy. bonita, That

Virtue is amiable; Es cojo, He is lame (meaning a 
lame man, always lame). Ese muchacho esta muy 
sucio, That boy is very dirty (meaning now, and not
